Science Survey Released

Well on Friday Sptember 19th at 2pm, the sciecne needs assessment tool was released into the wild to every teacher of science from grades K through 8 in the province. The survey formerly known as the Platypus Precursor (see previous posts) was tweaked and rebranded as a Department of Education needs assessment.

We are very excited at the thought of haveing access to all the data. After all the point of this is to do a better job in science. Hopeflully by comapring high performing districts, we will be able to better plan our own PD to maximize our impact in the classroom.
